The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

"According to Hassan, if a woman cannot produce four male witnesses present at the time of her rape, she be imprisoned based on Hudood Ordinance and Shariah Law. This, he claims is in the best interest of women who are raped so if she fails to produce the witnesses she ought to refrain from filing an FIR altogether.

According to Hassan, somehow, it is in the best interest of the society for a woman to stay silent after being raped, while the perpetrator roams free.

Every two hours, a woman is raped in Pakistan and every eight hours, gang raped. And after all this, we are confronted with the reality that in this land, where the taste of justice for many is nothing but bland and vapid, 70 per cent of the crimes against women go unreported."

By the way, this is a Pakistani website so feel free to read the comments. As you can see, many Pakistanis are starting to embrace more liberal ideas and starting to disdain the clergy more than ever. It doesn't go quite far enough, for example, check the comments on this article: http://blogs.tribune.com.pk/story/6628/is-it-time-for-gay-rights-in-pakistan/ and you will begin to see religion interfering with honest progress to freedom. However, you will also see people arguing that Islam calls for tolerance and understanding and that one cannot possibly argue Allah did not create homosexuality... typical stuff.

Check the stats online you'll see that Pakistan rates extremely low on the rape scale - western nations are way higher. I thought when I read the figures reporting must be low and this comment from Hassan suggests such a position bears further consideration.
